Guga Language Is So Hard to Learn-Farming in the Far North!

"Guga (I don't know either.)"

Gugu Gaga scratched her head. She did not know why she had appeared here either.

All she knew was that the moment she opened her eyes, she saw a Cookie, then instinctively reached for it.

"I can't understand you. Oh well, you're so cute, and you love Cookies."

"Stick with me from now on."

Qin Qi reached out and picked up Gugu Gaga, then rubbed her head.

A healed expression appeared on his face. Having a Gugu Gaga of his own was wonderful.

"Say, Gugu Gaga, do you have a good friend named Doro?"

Qin Qi conjured another Cookie in his hand, fed it to Gugu Gaga, and spoke.

"Orange!"

Gugu Gaga suddenly said.

"Oh, oh, oh, I get it. You're saying you know Doro, and you know Orange is her favorite!"

Qin Qi understood. It seemed he was gradually beginning to understand what Gugu Gaga meant.

"Guga (Doro, good friend, Orange, tasty!)"

After being picked up, Gugu Gaga's little feet dangled in the air, swinging idly.

"Guga, what can you do?"

Qin Qi looked at little Guga with anticipation, wondering whether she might have some special power.

Would he become some cheat-enabled protagonist?

"Guga (Nothing.)"

Gugu Gaga shook her head. She had no special powers. If she had to name one thing, it was that she had lots of friends.

"Are you saying you don't have any? What a shame. You're an ordinary Guga, just like me."

"But that's fine too. The two of us can live a leisurely life here from now on."

"Fighting and killing have nothing to do with us."

Qin Qi decided he would not go to the Heaven Dou Empire, nor would he get involved with the empire or Spirit Hall.

He would stay in the Far North and live a leisurely life.

While Qin Qi was talking with Gugu Gaga, the Spirit Hall Soul Master finished awakening his Martial Soul.

After giving Shui Bing'er a few instructions, he hurriedly left. He still had to go to the next village.

After the Soul Master left, Shui Bing'er and Qin Qi were brought to the village chief's house.

Everyone began celebrating Qin Qi and Shui Bing'er. Their village had produced two more Soul Masters.

But after the celebration ended, the village chief began a serious talk with them.

"Little Qin Qi, there is only one school admission spot in the village."

"Normally, anyone qualified to become a Soul Master can attend school."

"But this year, both you and Bing'er can become Soul Masters, so there aren't enough spots to go around."

There was some hesitation in the village chief's eyes as he spoke.

"I understand. Let Bing'er go to school. I'll stay home."

Qin Qi immediately understood what the village chief meant and spoke magnanimously.

"No, that won't do. Qin Qi, you should go to school. I... I can join Spirit Hall."

"The people from Spirit Hall said earlier that as long as I join Spirit Hall, I'll be taken good care of."

Shui Bing'er shook her head. She did not want to take Qin Qi's admission spot. She wanted to become a Soul Master together with him.

"Bing'er, thank you for the offer, but let me give you some advice. You can join Spirit Hall if you want."

"But at the very least, wait until you finish junior academy before considering it."

Qin Qi reached out and patted Shui Bing'er's head. It was not that he had any particular issue with Spirit Hall.

He simply thought Bibi Dong had something wrong with her head. Nothing good would come from following a leader like that.

"But there's only one spot to study in the city. If I go, Qin Qi, you won't be able to."

Shui Bing'er grabbed Qin Qi's hand as she spoke.

"It's fine if I don't go. Your talent is better than mine, and your Martial Soul is stronger. You should go to school."

"Besides, there's one spot every year. If worse comes to worst, I can go next year."

The spot in Qin Qi's village was not for a work-study student, but for a regular student.

And they were not going to an ordinary junior Soul Master academy, but to a famous specialized junior Soul Master academy.

Unlike Tang San's village, Penguin Village had a fairly high chance of producing Soul Masters.

Many people in their village were Soul Masters. Though their ranks were not high, a Soul Master was still a Soul Master.

"Ah, little Qin Qi, I'm truly sorry. But don't worry, next year's spot will definitely be yours."

The village chief held the power to allocate the spots. He could give them to whoever he wanted, but he was a good man.

He was a good village chief, so he never abused his authority.

"Thank you, Village Chief."

Qin Qi smiled. With innate third-rank Soul Power and a food-type support Martial Soul, he was destined never to reach a high rank in this life.

So he did not want to compete or work hard. He only wanted to hug his Gugu Gaga and lie flat.

"Qin Qi, I'll definitely study hard!"

Shui Bing'er looked at Qin Qi, her eyes filled with determination. She swore that she would become a powerful Soul Master in the future!

"Good luck. I believe you'll definitely become a powerful Soul Master someday!"

"When that happens, our village won't be called Penguin Village anymore. We'll rename it Phoenix Village!"

Qin Qi clenched his fist and cheered Shui Bing'er on.

"Mm."

Shui Bing'er nodded.

About a week passed. The ice and snow melted somewhat, and the roads became passable again.

Shui Bing'er and the others prepared to set off for the academy in the city.

"Qin Qi, we'll leave the house to you."

"We've prepared food for you. If you run short on money, write to us, and we'll send some back."

Shui Bing'er's parents were also preparing to move to the city. They were both Soul Masters.

They could make a good living in the city, and it would also be more convenient for them to look after their daughters.

Yes, Shui Bing'er's half-sister, Shui Yue'er, was also studying in the city at the time.

"Alright. Thank you, Auntie and Uncle. Take care."

Qin Qi reluctantly saw Shui Bing'er and the others off. Even when they reached the village entrance, Shui Bing'er was still deeply reluctant to leave.

"Qin Qi, it's a promise! You have to come find me later!"

Shui Bing'er held out her little finger to pinky swear with Qin Qi as she spoke.

"Alright. Once Bing'er makes something of herself, I'll come depend on you. You'll have to take care of me then."

Qin Qi smiled and linked fingers with Shui Bing'er, sealing their promise.

"Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

Qin Qi waved goodbye to Shui Bing'er. He stood at the village entrance and watched until their figures completely disappeared.

"Little Qin Qi, if you need help later, come find me. I'll definitely help you."

The village chief patted Qin Qi on the shoulder and spoke warmly.

"Thank you, Village Chief, but I'm six years old now. It's time for me to try becoming self-reliant."

Qin Qi planned to become self-reliant through his own efforts. First, he would farm and have a little vegetable plot of his own.

"Good. Keep it up. If you truly run into difficulties, come find the village chief. The village chief will definitely help."

The village chief nodded. He admired Qin Qi's spirit. This was a good child with backbone.

After parting with the village chief, Qin Qi came to the back of Shui Bing'er's house—no, it should be called his house now.

He planned to clear out a small vegetable garden, but as he looked at the snow that had yet to fully melt, he realized a problem.

"I'm living in the damn Far North. I can't farm here!"

Qin Qi grabbed Gugu Gaga, who had been following beside him, and complained.

"Gugu Gaga (Leave it to Guga.)"

Gugu Gaga was dizzy from being shaken around, but she still patted her chest and wore a confident expression.
